Spiritual Tourism XVIII- Heavens on Earth -

The Koodal Manikyam Temple, Irinjalakuda

According to Hindu Philosophy, all deities are expressions of the One Ultimate Reality, Brahman. The Deity here is the brother of Lord Rama, Bharatha, known as Sangameshwara. Sangameshwara is a Sanskrit term meaning Koodal Manikkyam in Malayalam.

Koodal means " Reunion " and Mythology has it that Rama, Sita and Lakshmana met Bharata here and hence the name. This is the only temple in India consecrated to Lord Bharata, who was Dharma Personified.

A Hymn to the Mother Divine, as today's First Hour Planetary is ruled by the Moon..


To elevate our Consciousness, Sankara wrote a Hymn to the Divine Mother, the Raja Rajeshwari Ashtakam. This octet is good and can make our Kundalini rise !


Ambaa shaambhavi chandramaulir abalaa.aparnaa umaa paarvathi
KaaLii haimavatii shivaa trinayanii kaatyaayanii bhairavii .
Saavitrii navayauvanaa shubhakarii saamraajyalakshmiipradaa
Chidroopii paradevataa bhaghavathii shree raajaraajeshwarii


O Mother Divine of the nature of Consciousness
O Celestial Deity Great
With the noble attributes six
O Queen of all queens and kings
Thou art the Mother of the Universe,
The daughter of the mighty Himalayas,
The consort divine of the Divine Lord
With eyes triune - past, present and future
Thou art the conferror of Royalty & Fortune
With the splendour of a thousand suns !
Bestow on us Thy Bliss Celestial !

The Sacred Kataka / Ramayana Masa

The Sacred Kataka / Ramayana Masa


The Sun entered 0 degree Cancer or 90 degrees in the Sidereal Zodiac on 15
07 2018 initiating the Holy Karkitaka Ramayana Punya Masa !


As Rama mantras reverberate throughout Kerala, we start the day with this
simple Bhajan, extolling the Vision of the Four Temples, Nalambala
Darshanam.


When the Sun is transiting Cancer
When the heavens are pouring rains torrential
The Rishies reckoned this time is apt
To observe Ramayana Masa !


Rama Hare Jaya Rama Hare Jaya
Rama Hare Jaya Rama Rama
Sree Lakshmanaya Nama Bharata Swamy Nama
Shatrughna Moorthe Namo Namah !
Narayanaya Namo Namah

I behold a Boy Divine
Surrounded by the Upanishads
With incalculable Lustre
O the radiance of  thousand suns !
The Sage Divine, Narada seems blissful
In His Transcendental Presence
With Upanishads, assuming forms  female
Resembling the Gopis !

Thy Feet symbolises Self Actualisation
Let that Feet mesmerise my mind ever
The Refugee of all devotees !
Massaged as that Feet is by Yogis,
Who have achieved divine Transmutation !
And may I taste that celestial Bliss
The Bliss of Self Realisation,
The Ninth Lakshmi, Kaivalya !

In Ignorance, I have described Thee
Describing Deity in human terms
Is like expressing the Center
In terms of the Circumference !
How can terms logical
Define the Indefinable ?
Forgive me for limiting
The Illimitable !
With more than verses thousand
Have I condensed Bhagavata,
The greatest mythological treatise,
Equivalent to Sroyate iti Shrthi
Describing the Leelas of the Lord
A treatise on Vibhakti Yoga
Grant  me Ayur Arogya Soukhyam !

അഞാത്വാത്തേമഹത്വം യധിഹനിഗധിതം വിശ്വനാഥാ ....ഷമേധ സേ്തത്രം ചൈതസഹസേൃാതര

 Uthara Swayam varam Kathakali kanuvan
 Uthrada rathriyil poyirunnu
Kanchana kasavulla poonchela
Uduthaval nenjeyyum ambumayi vannirunnu

She was there, wearing a cotton saree with golden border,
When I went to see Uttara Swayamvaram Kathakali,
On an Uttarashada moonlit night
And she was carrrying arrows of love, aimed at my chest !

 Irayimman thambi nalkum sringara padha lahari Iru swapna vedhikalil alinju chernnu Karalile kali thattil arupathu thiriyitta Kadhakali vilakkukal erinju ninnu The amorous atmosphere created by Irayimman Thampi Dissolved in both dreamy states The Sixty wicks of the Kathakali Lamp Burned in the recesses of the heart !

Princess Savitri ( young Sreedevi ) was born to King Asvapathi & Malavi , due to the Grace of Lord Savitha ( Sun ). Hence they called her Savitri. The lovely, young Princess was Sarva Saastra Visharada, master of all sciences & arts. She was the cynosure of all eyes and the darling of the crowd. She shows her talent as a danseuse here. Savitri, along with Sati & Seeta, are the Three Idols of Indian Womanhood ! Saraswathi evale, Lakshmiyum evale, evale.......................................... O Ocean of musical notes, Ragas, Beloved Ocean of Songs, Rising with garland of Swaras, Moved by waves, Moved by dream garlands, O Ocean of Love !

As the First Planetary Hour Ruler is Saturn and Mandasthu Sastamaya..................

 Worship I the son of both
Destroyer and Preserver
Seated on the throne royal
Who captivates the worlds triune
Who indulges in Cosmic Dance
Vanquisher of enemies

I take refuge in Thee !

As the First Planetary Hour Ruler is Venus today, 06 04 18, and Shukra syat Gana Nayako Bhagavathee... The Eightfold Verse about the Mother Divine

Like Socrates who said " I know nothing, not even my own ignorance", Sankara was also known for his humility. "I know not Philosophy, Literature or Science " , he says in his poem, Bhavani Ashtakam. I am one of the worst beings and my only refuge is Thee ! 

 Neither do I know how to donate, 
Nor Meditation transcendental 
Neither do I know Tantra, 
Nor the stanzas of prayer great, 
Worshipping is unknown to me , 
Nor do I know the art of yoga, Thou art my only Refuge , O Mother Divine !

 Ashtapadi VII - Sa Virahe Tava Deena - Ode to the Lord

The Lord was pining
For his beloved Prakriti

Sitting with melancholy
Grief due to separation
From his beloved Radha
Had devastated Him Radha's confidante
Tells Radha's state of mind
To the Merciful Lord !
